November 3rd, 2011:

Purchased 30G + 30GG for comparison. My first few Panache/Cleo bras were in 30G but most felt too small in the cup in different ways based on the styles (see my reviews for Cleo-Alex unlined-cup plunge, Cleo-Jude moulded-cup plunge, Masquerade-Maia balconette). It's mostly difficult to find any stores in my area which actually choose to carry above a G-cup even though Panache makes them in some styles.

I took a chance ordering because the design is just so beautiful: the entire construction in purple feather-print is mesh but not see through like most soft cup wired bras.

This balconette style "fit" in both sizes however it became an ... issue of comfort in deciding which size to keep. The 30GG seems to envelope my breasts better especially when I lean over and it feels more supportive as there's just a touch more fabric in every area. As so, the straps are thicker and more on par as the width of a typical FF-G cup Freya at about 1.8cm. Gives me a pretty good shape which is more rounded than any Freya I've ever tried.

My only complaint is the gore stitching is much too itchy on the inside and so it needs a solution before I wear it again.

Measured unstretched before wearing.
Purchased & Returned early-October from Figleaves.

The pattern on this bra is awesome. When I first saw it online I thought it was some sort of leopard/cheetah print, but it's actually feathers. The colors are a blending of greys and purples, two of my favorites, so I loved it instantly.

While this bra is supportive, I plan on using it mainly more for going out and weekends than for everyday activities, as it does give a good amount of cleavage and really puts my boobs up front and center. Not really something I want to wear to work.

It's fairly low and straight across, so if you're full on top, you might have trouble spilling out.

The only really problem I have with the bra is that it looks a little worn after only a couple wears, I hope it holds up ok.
